Pants, wrong forum.
Hi,
I've just been using my new SPL meter to setup my speakers. It's a RadioShack model. I've set it to 70 on the meter and Weighting C and Response Slow. I've stuck my amp's test tones on - Yamaha HTR5640 (same as RX-V640RDS) and cranked the amp volume up to -70db.
Okay so far so good, I went through all my speakers adjusting their own volume until the meter was hitting 0 everytime. I hit a problem though, my main L&R speakers (Wharfedale 8.3's) aren't producing enough volume, the amp only allows me to go from -10 to 0 for each speaker and even at 0 it's reading as -3 on the spl meter.
What do I do now?
Cheers
